Właściciel Psałterza floriańskiego w pierwszej połowie XV wieku
The Saint Florian Psalter’s owner in the first half of the fifteenth century

Summary/Abstract: The Saint Florian Psalter (Warsaw, BN 8002 III) is the oldest existing Polish psalter, of unknown provenance until the 1550s. An erased owner’s note from the fifteenth century (f. Iv) has been largely omitted in research. The article presents this note as well as an identical one in another codex (Vienna, ÖNB, Cod. 1352). What follows is an identification of the owner, Hans Siebenlinder (d. 1438/1440), an eminent patrician of Buda. A short resume traces his activities in Hungary, and is followed by an overview of his contacts with the Kingdom of Poland. The last part of the article presents the importance of this identification for future research into the history of the Psalter but also into the phases of its creation.
